Ruben Gallego called out fellow Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in a Friday interview, accusing the moderate of being selfish and not supportive toward other members of their party.<\/p>\n<p>Gallego, a <a href=\"https:\/\/progressives.house.gov\/caucus-members\">member<\/a> of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, is considering challenging Sinema in a primary when she runs for re-election in 2024. He told Politico\u2019s Ryan Lizza that he has not yet made a final decision about the challenge, and revealed that he considered primarying Arizona\u2019s other senator, Mark Kelly, in both 2018 and 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the decision is going to be made by Arizonans. Politicians don\u2019t decide this on their own vanity,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/04\/22\/ruben-gallego-deep-dive-00027134\">said<\/a> of a primary challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not going to do something that\u2019s going to harm the Democratic Party. In 2018, in 2020, I thought for a long time about running against [Mark] Kelly,\u201d Gallego continued. \u201cAt the end of the day, I realized that two things are going to happen. We\u2019re going to have a blowout fight all the way up into the primary, and the most likely thing is that whoever won that primary was going to lose that general because we\u2019re going to fight each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">RUBEN GALLEGO on KYRSTEN SINEMA: \u201cIt\u2019s just like she cares about herself. She doesn\u2019t care about the Democratic movement. She doesn\u2019t care about working-class people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Listen to that and much more in this week\u2019s unmissable Deep Dive podcast interview: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Bw5mBA7LkA\">https:\/\/t.co\/Bw5mBA7LkA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 POLITICO Playbook (@playbookdc) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/playbookdc\/status\/1517467004717912065?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gallego went on to accuse Sinema of not caring about other Democrats or her constituents, as evidenced by her lack of appearances on the campaign trail for Kelly or gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe doesn\u2019t do that,\u201d he said of Sinema\u2019s campaign appearances. \u201cShe\u2019s all about herself. She\u2019s not going to help Mark. She\u2019s not going to help Katie Hobbs or whoever the Democrat is. It\u2019s all about herself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe doesn\u2019t understand Arizona. I think that\u2019s actually the real thing. I think she understands Arizona from a perspective many years ago, but she actually doesn\u2019t understand Arizona like what\u2019s happening. She\u2019s running based on past elections, but she isn\u2019t involved to see what\u2019s happening here,\u201d Gallego continued.<\/p>\n<p>Sinema has faced harsh criticism from members of the Democratic Party over her opposition to the Build Back Better social spending package, and her perceived refusal to negotiate on legislative specifics. On several occasions, she has been publicly <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/05\/kyrsten-sinema-reconciliation-daca-joe-biden\/\">targeted<\/a> by left-wing activist, including some who <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/03\/university-of-arizona-kyrsten-sinema-build-back-better-plan-act\/\">followed<\/a> her into a bathroom at Arizona State University. <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/01\/27\/kyrsten-sinema-alyssa-mastromonaco-obama-podcast\/\"><strong>(RELATED: \u2018I Think She\u2019s A C*nt\u2019: Ex-Obama Aide Goes On Expletive-Filled Rant Against Kyrsten Sinema)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Along with West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, Sinema is one of only two Democratic senators to oppose eliminating the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/01\/11\/joe-manchin-filibuster-joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filibuster<\/a>. Several activists have <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/01\/17\/kyrsten-sinema-filibuster-voting-rights-john-lewis-al-sharpton-mlk\/\">suggested<\/a> that she is racist for refusing to eliminate the filibuster to pass an elections nationalization package.<\/p>\n<p>A Morning Consult <a href=\"https:\/\/morningconsult.com\/2022\/01\/31\/doug-ducey-mark-kelly-kyrsten-sinema-approval-rating-arizona\/\">poll<\/a> conducted in January found that 44% of Arizonans approved of Sinema\u2019s performance as senator, with 42% disapproving and 14% having no opinion. Notably, 55% of Republicans approved of Sinema\u2019s performance, compared to only 43% of Democrats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic Arizona Rep.
